The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted

The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted and Other Small Acts of Liberation by Elizabeth Berg  242 pp.

This collection of short stories center around women making changes in their lives in sometimes humorous, often poignant, and frequently defiant ways. Many of the stories focus on food, dieting, and body issues as in the title story where a woman abandons Weight Watchers for a day and goes on an eating spree. Some are concerned with love and relationship changes. The problems of aging are touched on at least briefly in almost all the stories. Most of the stories are amusing but not necessarily laugh-out-loud funny. This is a nice, light read.
